The general says that the Nazis have neither the food supplies nor the raw material necessary to carty an army of 2,000,000 through the winter. He foretold the collapse of Germany before spring. Britain To Intensify Food Blockade On Tuesday despatches from Italy told of Mussolini practically reconâ€" structing his cabinet, his army and air command and the leadership of the Fasecist party. The men retired are all said to be specially proâ€"German and have been replaced by men reported as favourable to Britain and France. ObDâ€" servers see in the changes a further rift in the pact between Germany and Italy. The alliance between Germany and Russia practically meant that Italy would edge away from Germany, as Mussolini is honest in his dislike of communisin. The reconstruction of the cabinet and the replacement in military and party control are taken as further signs of the way the wind is blowing in Italy. Many are prepared to wager that Italy will be in the war on the side of the Allies before the war "inancial Statement of Timmins Red Cross Society Standing on Road.
